• Thomas S. Monson, Labels, Ensign, Sep 2000, 2
• Sometimes cities and nations bear special labels
  of identity. Such was a cold and very old city in
  eastern Canada. The missionaries called it Stony
  Kingston. There had been but one convert to the
  Church in six years, even though missionaries had
  been continuously assigned there during the
  entire interval. No one baptized in Kingston.
  Just ask any missionary who labored there. Time
  in Kingston was marked on the calendar like days
  in prison. A missionary transfer to another
  placeany placewould be uppermost in thoughts,
  even in dreams.
• While I was praying about and pondering this sad
  dilemma, for my responsibility then as a mission
  president required that I pray and ponder about
  such things, my wife called to my attention an
  excerpt from the book A Childs Story of the
  Prophet Brigham Young. She read aloud that
  Brigham Young entered Kingston, Ontario, on a
  cold and snow-filled day. He labored there about
  30 days and baptized 45 souls. Here was the
  answer. If the missionary Brigham Young could
  accomplish this harvest, so could the
  missionaries of today.

• Without providing an explanation, I withdrew the
  missionaries from Kingston, that the cycle of
  defeat might be broken. Then the carefully
  circulated word Soon a new city will be opened
  for missionary work, even the city where Brigham
  Young proselyted and baptized 45 persons in 30
  days. The missionaries speculated as to the
  location. Their weekly letters pleaded for the
  assignment to this Shangri-la. More time passed.
  Then four carefully selected missionariestwo of
  them new, two of them experiencedwere chosen for
  this high adventure. The members of the small
  branch pledged their support. The missionaries
  pledged their lives. The Lord honored both.
• In the space of three months, Kingston became the
  most productive city of the Canadian Mission. The
  grey limestone buildings still stood the city
  had not altered its appearance the population
  remained constant. The change was one of
  attitude. The label of doubt yielded to the label
  of faith.
